Underpinning Philosophy

As an Integrative psychotherapist, Colette's approach does not rely on one theory or modality in her work. Colette will tailor therapy according to the individual needs of each client working in a collaborative manner. She supports the client to identify strengths, resources, and new ways of living, ultimately to create more satisfying relationships with oneself and others.

Colette Gargan

Work Experience

Joanne has worked in both public and private psychotherapy practice as a student and graduate psychotherapist. She works in a humanistic integrative way, focusing on the client and their potential for growth and self-integration. Methods are adapted based on the client’s needs and what they bring to the room, as opposed to using one fixed method. Joanne has experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, identity issues, trauma, addiction, family systems, abuse, and relationship problems.

Underpinning Philosophy

Although trained in a humanistic manner, Joanne pulls from the integrative elements of her training quite frequently by using methods from psychodynamic, gestalt and existential therapies.
